They say no good deed ever goes unpunished. Well no good deed ever goes uncopied either. Look what’s coming together in the fall.
At the moment there are only place holders and topic ideas but it’s pretty clearly going to happen. Ellen Wohl introduced me to Jackie Corday who is a former student and now a water resources manager for Montrose. I made sure she knew Jerry Mallett who runs Colorado Headwaters and they assured me they are already hard at work making this happen. Apparently it’s true.
The plan is for it to be two days wednesday and friday just like ours with the first devoted to education and the second politics. Of course they are thinking post Covid so they are planning to go in person but it’s pretty dam exciting to think that there is a cascade of beaver education falling like dominoes across the west.
In the mean time we will keep beavering away on the Caifornia Summit. We have our last steering committee tomorrow and hopefully a final run tech walkthrough after that.
Oh and they other thing they say is that is that “Failure is an orphan but success has many parents” and I have to agree because look what I found from a website called “Ecologistics” taking credit for our summit already! I’m so glad I’m not in charge of it because it means I might finally get some rest.
The beavers are coming!
The SLO Beaver Brigade is putting on its first major event, a Virtual Beaver Summit on April 7th and 9th, from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm each day.
Um no, and no. BB is speaking for 15 minutes at the tail end of a single day of the beaver summit. They are a guest at the table. They didn’t set it.
Hrmph.
Jon and I got our first shots yesterday, and are feeling might cheerful about it. Kaiser was unbelievably organized and we couldn’t believe how smoothly the whole thing went. We were even given a timer for our mandatory waiting period and a second appointment. I’ll leave you with this glimpse of how Yo Yo Ma celebrated his second shot mandatory 15 minute waiting period. Apparently he couldn’t leave his cello in his car at the center for insurance reasons. So he just thought, why the cello not?
